Hammacher Schlemmer Introduces its Holiday Gift Guide

New York, NY, November 5, 2013 - Hammacher Schlemmer, America's most distinguished retail catalog company, has issued its Holiday Gift Guide, for 2013 to offer gift ideas from a selection of the Best, the Only, and the Unexpected.

Ideal for finding a gift for someone who has everything or professes to want nothing, Hammacher Schlemmer's 2013 Holiday Gift Guide is filled with an assortment of products that solve problems or are the only ones of their kind. Selected by Hammacher Schlemmer's gift consultants, the product assortment includes The Oilless Fryer, an appliance that cooks crisp, succulent fried food without any oil, The Wireless iPhone Photo Printer, a device that prints color photographs from an iPhone or Android-powered phone, and The 50' Snowball Launcher, a toy blaster that makes and shoots softball-sized snowballs.

"The Holiday Gift Guide provides customers with a means for finding unconventional gifts-presents that are not easily found elsewhere," explained Fred Berns.

For gadget lovers, the Holiday Gift Guide offers The iPhone Binoculars, field binoculars that display images at 8X magnification on the smartphone, and The Wireless Speaker Ear Warmers, a product that protects ears from the cold and delivers sound from a smartphone.

Practical problem-solving gifts include The World's Smallest Automatic Umbrella, that retracts to merely 8" - long for unobtrusive storage, and The VHS To DVD Converter, and The One Year Smartphone Back Up Battery a source of supplemental power that retains 97% of its power after one year of inactivity.

Whimsical gifts include The Mind Controlled UFO, a flying orb that is remotely controlled by one's own brain waves, and The Full Bottle Wine glass, stemware that holds up to 750 ml and allows one to say, in all honesty, they've only had one glass.

As with all of Hammacher Schlemmer's products, the items in the Holiday Gift Guide are backed by the Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee, allowing gift-givers and recipients to exchange or return gifts at any time, for any reason.
